My other IWB holster is a Bianchi, and several times the laser was accidentally turned on while in the holster. Is there a channel for the switch?

As you know the bodyguard doesn't have a switch, just a small little button. I have not had any issues with the laser being accidentally activated.

I have never had a laser turn on accidentally with this holster if that answers your question.

I am not sure it would be called a channel, but the little button does not get turned on while in holster at all. I originally had a question that I asked about the holster being tight - but it works perfectly for me after use. I had a couple of other holsters I returned ( to Bass Pro) but I have kept this one. I like it.

I bought an inexpensive Maglight compatible camo "holster" from Bass Pro, and it works pretty well, but I'll occasionally turn it on inadvertently when removing it from my belt and or sometimes when standing up at my desk. Doesn't happen much and I don't worry over it since it uses AAA cells.

Yes, laser activation switch works from either side of weapon (center is off - button pushes both left and right).

I have a loose fitting IWB holster so I don't notice it. If I shoot a lot say at the range it wears the top of my back knuckle that sits under the site. (not a big problem)Over-all, I love the laser and have it on two firearms.

I don't think so. U push it wit one finger and it goes to the other side. Then to turn it off u slide it back wit ur other finger on other side of gun. I got it for my wife and I really don't like the way u turn it on an off lol. Hope that helps.

Yes.. One press from either the right or left side turns the laser on and another press turns it off.

There is a tiny rubber button on the left side of the laser near the front...difficult IMO to manipulate in a extreme situation...but I get tons more battery life just leaving mine turned off as I do a lot of practice with the built in sites. But push it once and the laser pulses, push button again and it's on constant. Push button a third time and it shuts back off.

There is a magnetic cut off switch. You can turn the light ON or Strobe, then as soon as you holster it the light turns off. Pull it out and the light turns back on. You must have a holster with the magnet it it.

Mine was designed for laser and the leather is stiff enough to prevent accidental turn on of laser. But I guess it could happen. I'm very satisfies with my holster.

Yes, but you must have the laser and/or light turned on before first holstering it. Another point is I sent my 5CL laser/light unit back because it wouldn't hold it's aim setting. Settings for elevation and windage did not hold, even with the unit just being in the holster and the gun not being fired. Unacceptable! Viridian has great customer service, though.

I bought this holster and it works great with the laser attached. Barsony Concealment IWB Holster for Shield Laser Max Centerfire rightI took the laser off and now the holster doesn't hold as tight (go figure). Basically I have to say that you need to get a holster specifically to fit the laser. Good luck!

Don't apply as much pressure and the laser won't activate......their is an on/off switch..best of luck. If it isn't broke, don't mess with it!!! Please support the 2nd Amendment

It will be too large for the stock holster, plus it may hit the button and keep the laser on constantly. Better to get a nylon larger frame holster

At the end of the unit when installed on the handgun, there is a 3 position switch. On/off/on. It is perfect for both left handed and right handed shooters. The switch is really close to the trigger guard.

This is a right handed IWB. I don't see anyway to switch the hardware to make it a left side. Hope this helps

Yes, it is! I love it! Very smooth in both the draw and re holster as well. Just put the laser or light on then reholster and it will turn it off. Draw the gun and it will turn back on w out having to press the on button.
